Acute myocardial infarction with right ventricular (RV) involvement represents a classic complication of inferior myocardial infarctions, worsening its prognosis. The RV harbors very particular physiological characteristics that determine its pump function, with a multiparametric and thorough evaluation of its function being an essential tool in the acute cardiac care setting. New techniques are being increasingly more used, such as right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) measured by 3D and right ventricular free wall strain, that are not usually measured in an urgent situation, but provide very useful clinical information.
